Chapter 3: Xenomorph I: The Plot Begins

Chu Xuan said indifferently without looking back

“The only person of Asian descent on the assassin ranking list.

Specializing in sniper rifles, he is rumored to be the man who created the longest-range kill at 3,500 meters.”

“Although I have never seen this person with my own eyes, I think it must be you!”

On the other side, the burly white man exclaimed, “Oh my god. You’re actually that famous?”

In fact, let alone Pao, the four “veterans,” including Zhan Lan, were also casting sidelong glances.

They whispered to each other, sighing at the high quality of the newcomers.

Li Xiao looked at Zheng Zha and the others but didn’t say much.

You guys don’t know Chu Xuan’s capabilities; otherwise, I wonder what kind of expressions you’d have.

Zero looked at Chu Xuan: “For an assassin, being famous is not necessarily a good thing.”

“Furthermore, I don’t think this is something an ordinary colonel would know.”

Before Chu Xuan could reply, a miserable howl erupted from outside the open door.

Li Xiao said: “It’s the two middle-aged men and the male and female white-collar workers who just went out!”

After he finished speaking, the eight people in the room ran toward the source of the sound simultaneously.

Just as Zheng Zha had said earlier, the sooner they discovered the Alien, the greater the chance of killing it.

If they were lucky, a single bullet could solve the problem.

After running out of the door, everyone’s physical fitness was laid bare.

In the lead was Zheng Zha, who had exchanged for internal energy and the Viscount vampire bloodline.

Next was Zhang Jie, who was hiding his true strength, followed by Zhan Lan, Chu Xuan, and Li Xiaoyi.

Pao and Zero followed behind.

And Li Xiao, unsurprisingly, was the last one.

Although he had tried his best to adjust his breathing and running posture, he still couldn’t avoid the limitations of his own body.

After turning two corners, he had been left far behind by the group.

But even so, Li Xiao remained unchanged, and Zheng Zha didn’t make him wait long.

Seeing this, Zheng Zha, who was in the lead, turned back directly and grabbed him.

With some assistance, Li Xiao was finally able to barely keep up with the main group.

In return for Zheng Zha’s help, Li Xiao decided to let Zheng Zha suffer a little less in the future.

Of course, this would be on the premise that it didn’t affect his own interests.

After all, there is a method to clinging to a powerful figure.

Isn’t it even better to nurture your own powerful figure to cling to?

Before long, Zhang Jie, who was in the lead, brought everyone to a place resembling a transit hall.

It was empty and flat, connecting several corridors.

Li Xiao saw that in the middle of the hall, kneeling on the ground, were the four newcomers who had previously thought this was a film studio.

It seemed that they hadn’t found any cameras, but had instead encountered three corpses first.

Li Xiao forced himself to take deep breaths, steadying the heart of this fragile body.

He followed the others as they walked over.

Although he knew what the scene was, he still couldn’t help but frown after seeing it.

But that was limited to just a frown.

Lying in front of the four newcomers were a blonde white woman, a burly black man, and a burly white man.

Regardless of gender, the faces of all three were extremely distorted, as if they had been experiencing something before they died.

Li Xiao looked down—well, it wasn’t “as if.” Looking at the three bloody holes in their flesh, he felt their expressions were quite understandable.

“Thump, thump, thump!”

The four newcomers, whose legs had been weak just a moment ago, must have regained their senses. Seeing Chu Xuan and the others approaching, they stood up one by one and ran into one of the corridors without a word.

Li Xiao wanted to stop one, but it was too late.

Zheng Zha didn’t pay any more attention to the newcomers, instead staring closely at the three corpses.

His face turned pale as he asked Chu Xuan

“In the first Alien movie, how many Aliens were there?”

Chu Xuan squatted down: “One. I couldn’t possibly remember such an important plot point incorrectly.”

Although her face didn’t look good, Zhan Lan continued after Chu Xuan.

“It seems now that the Main God has adopted the first method.”

“There are at least three Aliens on this spaceship now!”

The three corpses lying on the cold metal floor all had bloody holes in their chests and stomachs.

Jagged, whitened bone fragments, bloodless “red meat,” and some internal organs trailing out.

Everything within sight made Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and Li Xiaoyi feel nauseous.

However, they were barely able to hold on.

The reason they were holding on was that they saw these four newly joined “newcomers.”

They actually had no reaction at all. They could understand the assassin and the mercenary.

But why could a colonel and a college student remain indifferent?

Zero squatted next to Chu Xuan and wiped some blood from one of the holes.

“Looking at this viscosity, the time of death should have been about four hours ago.”

Pao saw the two of them squatting, and for some reason, he followed suit and began observing the three corpses.

Seeing that all three of them were squatting, Li Xiao decided he shouldn’t just stand there either.

He squatted directly next to Pao.

Li Xiao’s performance caused the three tough guys to cast sidelong glances at him, tacitly accepting him as the fourth tough guy.

Zhan Lan, who had been feeling nauseous, saw the four of them squatting in a row next to the corpses like idlers, and she couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

“Haha, you four.

Alright, back to the point, do you have any other discoveries?”

“If the chestburster evolution was completed four hours ago, then there might already be a mature Alien now!”

Chu Xuan retracted his hands, which had been measuring the bloody holes.

He said indifferently: “There is one more piece of information. Look at these three bloody holes.”

Everyone followed Chu Xuan’s finger to the bloody hole of the burly black man in the middle.

“This hole, both in width and depth, exceeds the other two.”

“And, look at the physique of these three people. In the plot, I remember the black man was the pilot of this spaceship.”

“At the same time, he was the most robust one in the group of eight.”

“Such a good embryo.

So, if I’m not mistaken, the one that burst out of this chest is an Alien Queen.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Lan held her forehead with her right hand and gave a wry smile: “A Queen?”

Zero and Pao asked in confusion: “What is an Alien Queen?”

Zhan Lan thought for a moment and said

“Among the Alien species.

The Alien Queen is the mother of the Alien biological system.

It has the special ability to reproduce offspring.

I remember in the movie, it had a huge ovipositor at the back of its body, and its reproductive capacity was quite astonishing.

Its body size is about twice as large as a normal two-to-three-meter drone Alien.

It stands nearly four or five meters tall, with a massive, wide-set body.

However, once it encounters a crisis, it will detach from the ovipositor, shed the burden, and transform into the most terrifying Alien.

Its strength is worlds apart from a normal Alien.”

Chu Xuan nodded

“That’s right, that’s the one. In horror movies, it is more than ten times stronger than a normal Alien.

Don’t forget, the task issued by the Main God is to kill the Alien.

Without heavy weapons, I can’t think of any means we have to kill it.”
